Suddenly There Are Three (Bailey and Artemis)

Chapter 1075

Chapter 1075 Silently Cursing The Fool

Zara gazed at her own arm with a cold, focused stare, and sighed helplessly.

While competition among peers was common, the Strasson family had crossed the line.

If they wanted to compete, they should do so in a fair and square way. Resorting to underhanded

tactics meant they were no longer worthy of inheriting the art of embroidery. Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.

“It is hard to guard against hidden threats., so this is not your fault. Now, I can't participate in the

competition. What do you think we should do next?”

Bailey remained silent, turning to look at the few embroiderers behind her.

These people were all brought here by Zara, they were her disciples.

Although they had already made a start, they were still far from reaching the master level in terms of

talent and age.

While there was nothing particularly remarkable about Melanie, she had been doing embroidery since

she was a child. Sending these people to compete with her would undoubtedly result in their defeat.

“Zara, haven't you already made up your mind? Why do you need to ask me again?”

Zara gave a faint smile, enduring the intense pain from the doctor tearing at her sleeve. Her voice

trembling as she said, “Since you've already revealed so many of your other identities, you wouldn't

mind one more.

“In the fields of medicine, design, and the others, they take pride in having you. They regard you as

their deity, offering you their utmost respect and reverence.

“It's about time you show off your skills in the embroidery industry, so we can also enjoy the pride that

comes with having you personally at the helm.”

Bailey couldn't help but burst into laughter.

She truly desired to keep a low profile, as low as possible, yet reality often didn't align with her wishes.

Consider all the identities she had revealed, which one wasn't unveiled out of desperation?

“Zara, many people in the Yrina family have inherited its legacy, like you and my other senior. I don't

want to steal your thunder.

“Originally, I wanted to use this opportunity to boost your reputation, so you could replace Yrinasion

Muse and become the most authoritative master of embroidery in the world.”

Zara extended her uninjured left hand and took hold of hers, smiling as she said, “I know you've always

been indifferent to fame and wealth. You have nor desires or demands for them.

“But this time it's not out of desperation, right? I had made up my mind to follow your arrangements, to

shoulder the responsibilities of our sect.

“But if fate doesn't grant me this opportunity, there's nothing I can do. So, I must trouble you, my dear

Bailey, to resolve this crisis for the Yrina family.”

Bailey rubbed her forehead, her voice muffled as she said, “You're badly injured, so shouldn't you be

upset? Why do I get the feeling that you're quite happy?”

“No way. You must be overthinking it. I'm feeling terrible right now. I've lost my eligibility to compete and

suffered a lot. How could I possibly be happy?”

Is that so?

Bailey snorted twice.

Zara truly wished something would happen to her, just so she could get Bailey to show her skills.

But on second thought, if she had to do it then be it. She was not some shady character, so why

couldn't she represent the Yrina family in the competition?

“Alright, for the sake of the Yrina family, I'll take on this task. But let me make something clear in

advance. It's just a competition, don't expect me to take over the Yrina family.”

Zara laughed and said, “You're about to get married, so I wouldn't dare burden you with the trivial

matters of the Yrina family. Rest assured, we won't hold you back.”

Bailey made an OK gesture. “Alright, it's settled then. I'll tend to your wounds first, and then we'll head

to the competition together.”

“Okay.”

...

At the front yard.

The Shurmer family had cleared a vast open space to serve as the ground for competition, covering

several hundred square meters. The surrounding area was bustling with crowds, creating an

extraordinarily lively atmosphere.

Everyone was currently discussing Zara's car accident, speculating on who the Yrina family would send

to replace Zara in the competition.

“I heard that only Master Zara from the Yrina family came this time. The rest are her disciples. No

matter who would take her place, I'm afraid it's going to be tough to win.”

“Exactly, I feel the same way. Ms. Melanie and Zara are on the same level. If Zara's disciple were to

compete with her, the only outcome would be a brutal defeat.”

“Huh, if the Strasson family wins this competition, I'm afraid the Yrina family's status in the embroidery

world will decline.”

“Indeed, ever since the matriarch passed away three years ago, and with the disappearance of

Yrinasion Muse, the Yrina family has been in decline day by day. Now, it's already in its last phase of

their previous glory, barely surviving.”

“What a pity for World's Best Embroidery.”

Melanie weaved through the crowd, and after hearing the surrounding chatter, she couldn't help but let

a smile play on her lips.

Karina spoke up from the side, “Melanie, just wait and see. You'll win without even having to compete.”

Melanie's smile became even more radiant.

If it weren't for the crowd around her, she would have burst out laughing.

Because of Yrinasion Muse, the Strasson family had been under the thumb of the Yrina family for

years. Now, they finally had a chance to turn things around.

“Let's go. We should have a chat with the judges to convey the sincerity of the Strasson family.”

“What do you mean?”

Melanie gave her a wicked glance and laughed. “Now everyone is wondering if the Yrina family will

send someone else to replace Zara in the competition.”

“Can I garner the applause and praise of everyone present if I suggest to the judges to choose

someone else in place of Zara?”

“...” Karina frowned, clearly disapproving of her actions.

Now that Zara has been defeated, victory was within reach. Any intelligent person wouldn't make such

a proposal, inviting unknown adversaries upon themselves.

Only God knew if the Yrina family had any other outstanding embroiderers besides Zara.

If her suggestion attracted a formidable opponent and they end up losing the competition, they'll be left

dumbfounded.

“Melanie, I don't think this is the right time to make such a proposal. We should insist on Zara

participating in the competition. Given her injury, there's a high chance she won't show up.”

“When the time comes, let's be firm in our stance and refuse to let anyone else compete in her place. If

we don't agree, the substitute can't take the stage, and the victory will effortlessly fall into our hands.”

Melanie slowed her steps, giving Karina a cold look, her voice laced with restrained anger. “Are you

implying that I'm inferior to Zara's disciples? That if I were to compete with them, I would undoubtedly

lose?”

Karina quickly clarified, “Melanie, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean it that way. I simply don't want to

complicate things, especially considering...”

“Enough. Today is a great opportunity for me to establish an image of tolerance and magnanimity. I

must grasp it firmly. How could I possibly let it slip?”

“Don't try to persuade me anymore for this matter is settled. Without Zara, even if the Yrina family

produces ten more talented embroiderers, they won't be a match for me. What is there to fear?”

Karina muttered under her breath. What an id*ot.

Victory is within reach, she'd better hold on tight and not show off. She should pray that nothing goes

wrong, otherwise the Strasson family won't let her off the hook.

Ignoring Karina's attempts to stop her, Melanie walked up to the panel of judges in her high heels.

“Good day to the three judges, I am the contestant Melanie Strasson. I've just heard the tragic news

that Zara, the embroiderer from the Yrina family, has been in a car accident and is in critical condition. I

deeply sympathize with her situation.

“Regarding this competition, we, the Strasson family, don't want to take advantage of her predicament,

it will give others a reason to gossip. So, I agree that the Yrina family can send another participant.”

Hearing that, the judges stared blankly at one another.

They had all been influenced by the Strasson family's suggestions, and were preparing to lean towards

the Strasson family's side.

Now that the Yrina family's contestant had encountered a problem, the Strasson family should be

strongly opposed to having a replacement. Why would Ms. Melanie make such a foolish request?

One of the judges lowered his voice and said, “Ms. Strasson, if Zara doesn't show up, it means she has

withdrawn from the competition. According to the competition rules, it's only logical that the Strasson

family wins.”

“How could you suggest that the Yrina family change their representative? The risk is too high. Please

step back and refrain from making reckless comments.”
